Translation

Maya’s the great swindler – now I know.Trailing the noose of the three qualities,She wanders, whisperingHoneyed words.For Vishnu she’s Lakshmi,For Shiva she’s Shakti,for priests an idol,for pilgrims a river.For a monk she’s a nun,for a king she’s a queen,in one house a jewel,in one a shell.For a devotee, she’s a pious lady,For Brahma, Mrs Brahma.Kabir says, seekers, listen well,this is a storyno one can tell.
